      Verdict

      THE HOLYMAN showed signs of a resurgence when beaten a length in third at Chepstow last month. Jo Hughes' charge should be in the firing-line with a similar effort and gets the nod. Layline is much better on the all-weather and it was heavy ground when he scored at Yarmouth last season while Laser Blazer may need more time to show his best having finished tailed off on his reappearance at Newbury. Sommersturm is another who saves his best for the Polytrack and Dubai Glory could prove a bigger threat on her return to action.
